Description
There's a good reason the 10mm crowd got excited when Ruger added this chambering to the LC Carbine lineup. You get real 10mm Auto thump out of a 16.25 inch cold hammer-forged barrel, which squeezes noticeably more velocity out of the cartridge than any pistol will, and you get it in a package that folds down small enough to ride in a pack. The side-folding stock adjusts for length of pull from 12.6 to 14.6 inches, and with the stock folded the whole rifle shrinks down for easy storage behind a seat or in a bag. At around 7.4 pounds it carries comfortably all day.
Feeds From Glock-Pattern 10mm Mags
This is the feature that sells a lot of these carbines. The LC Carbine 10mm ships with one 30-round magazine and accepts most off-the-shelf Glock-pattern 10mm Auto magazines, so if you already run a G20 or G29 as your woods pistol, your mags pull double duty. The magazine sits in the grip with a bolt-over-barrel layout, which keeps the balance point right in your hands and makes the gun quick to swing. Ruger's Secure Action fire control gives you a short, clean trigger pull with a positive reset, backed up by a 1911-style ambidextrous manual safety and an integrated trigger safety.
Set Up the LC Carbine Your Way
The octagonal aluminum handguard is covered in M-LOK slots for lights, hand stops, or a bipod, and a full-length Picatinny rail up top handles red dots and low-power scopes. Ruger Rapid Deploy folding sights come installed and adjust for windage and elevation, so it's ready to shoot out of the box. The muzzle is threaded .578×28 with a protector in place, which opens the door to brakes and 10mm-rated suppressors. Controls are genuinely ambidextrous too, with right and left bolt releases, a reversible magazine release, and a reversible charging handle.
Whether you want a hard-hitting trail gun for big-animal country, a pistol-caliber carbine that shares mags with your sidearm, or just something different for range day, this one earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ruger LC Carbine 10mm accept Glock magazines?
Yes, it's built around most off-the-shelf Glock-pattern 10mm Auto magazines, including the factory 30-rounder it ships with. Keep in mind that older single-notch Glock mags will still work, but the magazine release needs to stay on the left side for them to lock in properly. Kriss Vector 10mm mags with Glock-style tubes generally run in it as well.
Can I mount a suppressor on the LC Carbine 10mm?
You can. The 16.25 inch barrel comes threaded .578×28 with a thread protector installed, so it accepts caliber-appropriate suppressors, muzzle brakes, and other muzzle devices. Just make sure whatever can you choose is rated for 10mm Auto pressures.
How compact is the LC Carbine for storage or backpacking?
The stock folds to the side and the Rapid Deploy sights fold flat, which brings the footprint down enough to fit in a large pack or a short case. At roughly 7.4 pounds it's a manageable carry, and that's a big part of why it's become a popular trail and truck gun in bear country.
Is the Ruger LC Carbine good for left-handed use?
It's one of the more lefty-friendly carbines out there. You get a 1911-style ambidextrous manual safety, bolt releases on both sides, a reversible magazine release, and a reversible charging handle. The stock is reversible too, so it can be set up to fold to either side.
